Sharing my life's lesson

10/25/2020

0 Comments

 
On October 17, I celebrated a milestone birthday. I had the luxury to re-evaluate my life. I want to share with you what I have learned throughout my life. After all, I do want to leave this world better than I found it. So it is very important to me that I share the wisdom that I have gained through my life's journey.

When I was younger, I worked as a professional model and an actress for 10 years. I hang out with professional athletes and other celebrities. My weekends included traveling to London, Paris and other exclusive places. I lived a life which seemed, looking from the outside, perfect. My celebrity friends and I thought this is it; we've arrived. Yet, we all felt a void inside. We were too busy to go to church, read the Bible or even pray.

In the year 1996, due to an auto accident, I had to stay in bed for six weeks. My former pastor used to say, "God puts us on our back so we can look up." That is exactly what happened. The six weeks I was at home recovering, gave me a chance to evaluate my life. It made me realize that though temporal and secular things are what everyone is thriving for, material gains don't bring fulfillment to our lives. True joy can only be found in having a relationship with God.

The theme for my birthday this year was Black + Red = White.
  • Black represents my sins
  • Red represents the blood of Jesus that washed ALL my sins away
  • White represents the new me that God sees when He looks at me
My prayer to all of you is that you too may have the luxury to evaluate your life and what really matters in life. This year, over 220,000 people died in the US suddenly due to COVID-19. Are you ready to face your Maker? All you need is to put your trust in God. Believe me, life with Jesus is the best way to live life.

Matthew 16:26 "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?"

Blessings,

Sehin
